The nation's only true third generation wireless network is about to go national. Verizon has announced the company intends to invest $1 billion into its EvDO BroadbandAccess system to bring the network country-wide by 2005. The service, which offers wireless speeds between 300 and 500kbps (with infrequent bursts up to 2.4Mbps), is currently only offered in San Diego and Washington D.C.
According to Verizon's press release, the upgrades will begin immediately, with many areas going on-line throughout the summer of 2004. The service will be available for a flat rate of $79.99 monthly, with a one-year contract. Verizon Communications CEO Ivan Seidenberg is set to demo the service later today at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
